The Everglades is a wetland wilderness based on a slow-moving system of rivers. Once the home of the Seminole Native Americans, it is a beautiful and fragile habitat made up of 1.2 million acres of grasslands and hardwood hammocks (tree islands). Alligators, American crocodiles, turtles, fish, snakes and exotic wading birds thrive in this subtropical environment.
Enjoy a 40-minute airboat ride through the untamed wilderness. You will glide across miles of river at speeds up to 50 mph, guided by an experienced captain. During the trip, you'll discover the secrets of the swamps and hear tales of how the Seminole and the Florida panther once coexisted in this lush wilderness. Look out for the native wildlife as you skim across the glassy water.
